Roma Patchwork & Crafters Inc have been approached by the organisers of the annual mayoral Breakfast to provide table centres for this year's event. So we are trying to make 25 runners or creative centres for the breakfast tables. This is the top of my 1st runner. Just need to quilt & bind and create a few more. Hopefully someone thinks it is cute enough to want to take it home.

What do you get when you take this cute & fluffy wool from Crazy Clarkes & a couple of needles and a desire to see just what it knits up like??

A very cute & fluffy pot holder of course (well that is what P called it)

NO - Actually you throw on a pair of bamboo handles from the local (AMAZINGLY SCARY & WELL STOCKED PROVIDER OF EVERYTHING) shop and create a very cute and highly sought after bag - I had 10 different offers to buy my bag today (Yes just in one day) - YEAH!! I wish I had offers like that for the things I want to sell.I love it. It is big enough to hold my wallet, phone, keys & glasses - just what I need.

So this bag is another finished project - I love blogging them, at least it keeps me on track & I know what I have made.

And - it only took me 2 days. I had to remember how to knit & cast off!!

A Hint of what is to come. These yummy colours will soon be gracing our bed.I am so excited and can't wait to have it finished, but in true Crafter style, I have a few other projects on the go at the same time.

Well a couple more projects done & dusted. These delightful 'shaggy' bags are the last of a series I created prior to Christmas. I had made my bag (front right) and had to give it away so determined I needed to make myself another I set to work. The fabrics are the same as the original but a different design.

HI
Welcome Outback Crafter.
I began blogging so I would keep track of my creations, sometimes this works, sometimes not.
I sell some of my creations under the name of Dabble Handmade as I tend to 'dabble' in different crafts.
I hope you enjoy what you see.
Enjoy your time here.
